Plenty of aromatics--such as onions, garlic, a small amount of spices and fresh herbs give this dish very flavorful. flavor. A mini food processor can finely mince the aromatics in no time. I find the tiny pieces of garlic and ginger yield a nice mellow flavor in little cooking time. Ultimately, the spice level in any recipe is a matter of taste, so be judicious. And always add the fresh herbs at the end.

Serve this with basmati rice.
